Release Reminder: New Balance 997.5 Grey (M9975GR)

Nothing shouts classic as good as a pair of grey, made in U.S.A. New Balance trainers. And what better way to bring in another round of grey goodness in the form of a 997. I mean 998. Wait, what?!

Yes, the hybrid New Balance 997.5 returns, a cross between the 997 upper and the 998sAbzorbmidsolecushioning. Boasting abolderlogo and a slimmed down silhouette that at first glance seems to have been slimmed down from itspreviousreleases. To date there hasn’t been that many colourways seen on the 997.5. In this writer’s opinion however,each and everyone of them has been consistently on point, which is a rarity incrossbreed sneakers.

Adding toits alreadylikeable nature is a grey combination upper made ofsuede and mesh with white accents throughout and is also the very first of the 997.5 to bear the official stamp – ‘Made in U.S.A’. A quality pair indeed. That aloneshould beenough for you to realise, you best not sleep on these.
